Day 19. Ups and Downs.

So today is day 19. Took a vacation day...so no work today!

Well plenty of recovery/AA work

Actually caught up on sleep last night. Still Gray and rainy...but in a much better mood today.

Recovery has plenty of ups and downs...but the joy of being sober is I can experience them now. I'm not always blotted out my alcohol..in not numb to life.

I'm glad to be here. I'm grateful I found SR and all the great support here.

Off to watch a Friday the 13th marathon...

Findingtheway, I find this perplexing - how on earth can you have a Friday the 13th marathon without getting horrible heartburn?

Congratulations on your ups and downs and feeling them. This is nice to read, FTW. You are doing a great job.

Its nice to feel things, even bad things now that I am not numb to all emotions and happenings around me. So THIS is what it feels like to live life huh? Well, welcome back! I like the way I feel now, even if sometimes I feel upset or sad etc... its that I am not drowning my feelings in suds. I am glad you are finding ways to redirect and doing things that sound exciting... ie movie marathon. I really had to find what I used to enjoy and then do them!

*Serenity Prayer* taking the day off today was 100% the right move.

Taking it day by day.
